Fantastische woning

Wat is dit een fantastisch huis! Een schone, ruime woning met veel daglicht in de woonkamer en keuken. De veranda voor het huis met loungebank en eettafel is geweldig. We hebben genoten van het uitzicht en de zonsondergangen waarop we werden getrakteerd. Maar ook bij het zwembad en aan de voorzijde van het huis zijn zitjes. Fijne slaapkamers en badkamers. Host Julia is zeer behulpzaam. Centrum Kaapstad ligt op ongeveer drie kwartier rijden. Rit daarnaartoe is trouwens prachtig. Directe omgeving ook schitterend. Zo kan ik nog wel even doorgaan… Hoogtepuntje voor ons was ‘s ochtends wandelen naar het mooie strand langs Cape Point Nature Reserve, waar we een baviaan en bontebok van dichtbij hebben gezien. En dan een cappuccino drinken op het terras bij de vriendelijke barista Rodney in het dorpscentrum. Onvergetelijk!!

Helemaal niets.

highly recommended!

the house is just beautiful! the garden, pool, balcony just lovely! the kitchen has everything you need. the bedrooms are nice and chilly even when it’s hot outside. we enjoyed our stay very much and Julia is always there if you need her, gives great recommendations and manages everything with love!

the alarm is very sensitive so we had a few alarms. luckily nothing happened and security was around very quick.

Starry Scarborough

The view from the balcony was beautiful, with the nature reserve on the left and the beach in front,you feel so at peace and a million miles away from the day to day hustle of life. The night sky is also spectacular.

There was not anything we really disliked

brilliant

stunning view Comfy beds Dorcas who welcomed us was lovely and welcoming ☺️ shutters had everything we needed

We were a bit taken aback by the request for a R2500 breakage deposit that we were requested to bring in cash. This is not something we have ever had to do on booking.com. it’s also a lot of money to have to draw especially when we just paid R4600 for the Accomodation. Also having that amount of cash on us is not something I think most people feel comfortable with in SA where hijacking’s are rife. I would suggest shutters tries to take a breakage deposit from the given credit card or even reduce the amount to something more manageable. other than that the place was perfect and we will be back.

Not a home away from home

We enjoyed the house and facilities. We enjoyed the beach and pool and the beautiful views from the lounge.

Although the house is beautiful and spacious, IT IS NOT KID FRIENDLY AT ALL. The pool is not safe for kids as it only has a 1 step and and after that it is almost 2m deep so kids can not enjoy the pool. There is also no other activities for kids to do other than going to the beach which is 10-15min walk. Furthermore, the premises is situated in a residential village and very close to the neighbour's so they can hear everything you do at the house. Since day 1 when we arrived we were told that we can't make a noise or speak loud because of the neighbour's, We also could not swim late than 8pm because we would make a noise (Again not child friendly) We were on holiday but we felt that we needed to be mute all day because of the neighbour's calling or complaining to the host Julia and she would then come around to us or call and ask if that's the case. We honestly felt we could have stayed at home rather than being treated like prisoners.Our kids did not enjoy it at all as we constantly had to tell them to keep mute because we afraid that the neighbors would complain even. that's not nice especially being on holiday and wanting to have a good time. We also advised Julia about the television that didn't work in the lounge as well as the rooms..She then asked me to ask my husband to have a look which I think those things need to be checked n be ready when guest arrive. Julia is an awsome host however pricacy needs to be given to guest we felt that she invaded our privacy by rocking up at the place during our stay because of what neighbors were apperantly saying however like I said most of our holiday we felt unwelcome and not happy. We spent 3 nights but couldn't wait to check out hence we left at 6am in the morning.

Perfect home from home in a perfect location

Great views of the Cape of Good Hope nature reserve to the left and the sea in front from the deck outside. Lovely pool. 15min walk to the beach through pleasant path off the main road. Fully functioning kitchen plus restaurants and deli in the village. House is very spacious and clean and all to yourself. Nothing to fault. Host Julia was welcoming and full of useful info. WiFi works well.

Wish we had booked for a longer stay!

My second year anniversary

Upon arrival the hostess gave us a tour of the entire property which we really loved and appreciated, (We hope she gets a nice little raise for that).The pictures cannot do any justice of just how amazing and huge the property really is. Our friends and family were able to visit us as well with no hassle at all.

What's not to like, it's a perfect stay!

Amazing Scarbie weekend getaway!

Beautiful house! Views are great, everything we needed was there to use, the rooms were clean and tidy, really nice bathrooms, amazing kitchen, really love the deck table outside. The whole place has a very homey and cosy vibe.

Here, I felt like I was far away from everything else but nature. The most gorgeous stretch of coast

This was a self catering stay, so that rating will not be applicable and my wife may be upset with what I say. The location is wonderful. Really, we were super happy. Safe and peaceful walk to the beach which was like our own little private location. Wildlife was to be seen all around as it borders the Cape Point Nature reserve. The town is so small that the peace was amazing. There was also so much in relatively close driving distance to see, so the proximity was certainly ideal for a peaceful stay with access to all the major site seeing areas.

Well, we cant change some things, and I guess the main road through Scarborough is right in front of the property. That is only really an issue worth worrying about when you have small kids who can roam this kind of town freely and safely but they must navigate the main road. Having said this, the main road sees something like a vehicle every minute at its peak so that puts perspective to my "complaint"

Wonderful Week Away

We loved verything about Shutters on Hilltop. The location is wonderful - walking around Scarborough and down to the beach along the reserve was lovely and easily accessible from the property. The house itself is beautiful, and has everything you could want. We enjoyed the fireplace, as well as the balcony with the beautiful view. It felt as if the owners really thought through the comfort and convenience of their guests. Julia was very warm and welcoming, and was extremely helpful if we had any questions or needed anything. She also gave us important information beforehand to make our stay more enjoyable. All round lovely place, thank you.

Nothing! Everything was as it should be, the house had everything we could need.

Exceptional House

The host Julia was very helpful and attentive. She made the checking in and out very easy and smooth as possible. The outdoor area is to die for unfortunately the weather was a bit to cold to swim in that beautiful pool but was pleasant to look at while enjoying the outdoor area. We loved the indoor fireplace for the cold mornings and nights to chill around. The rooms were very comfortable. We loved absolutely everything about the home and thanks to Julia for going the extra mile and providing extra items like candles and flash lights in each room.

Nothing, the area was great and the house was exceptional. Absolutely gorgeous
